Uncovered QOTSA

CLIENT: Music For Music Lovers (FR)Album artwork

The story behind this project is first of all the story of a meeting and of a collaboration.

On the one hand, the meeting of the French musician and producer Olivier Libaux, who was looking to illustrate his new musical project: an album entirely made of covers of the American band “Queens Of The Stone Age”, led by a prestigious vocal cast (Emiliana Torrini, Alela Diane, Youn Sun Nah, Skye, ...)And on the other hand, a new collaboration, with the very talented English illustrator Timothy Hunt, who became after several projects together, a favoured partner.

For this album, Timothy and I have directed our graphic and typographic work seeking inspiration from the spirit of the famous jazz label "Blue Note", becoming an obvious reference for our project.
We agreed on a very strong "classy an catchy" graphic orientation, on a cover which would be both a reference to the feminine world of the album and to Olivier's talents as a guitarist but also to Salvator Dali's "sofa boca" or to a famous photography by Man Ray.

A collector postcard was published specifically for the promotion of the album. The website which is dedicated to the project develops the graphic universe of the cover.
